• Almond Meal (2/3 Cup)

• Maple Syrup (3 Tablespoons)

• Peanut Butter or Almond Butter (3 1/2 Tablespoons)

• Cacao Powder (2 1/2 Tablespoons)

STEPS:

• Combine Wet Ingredients:

  • In a bowl, combine the peanut butter and maple syrup, stirring with a spoon until well mixed.

• Add Dry Ingredients:

  • Add the almond meal and cacao powder to the bowl, then mix again until fully combined.

• Adjust Consistency:

  • Use your hands to shape the mixture into a dough. Adjust the consistency as needed: add more maple syrup or peanut butter if too dry, or more almond meal if too wet.

• Preheat Oven:

  • Preheat the oven to 330°F (adjust per elevation) and line a large baking sheet with a silicone mat.

• Shape Dough:

  • Divide the dough into four pieces and roll each piece into ropes about 1 inch thick.

  • Cut the ropes into smaller pieces (about ½-¾ inch thick), then roll each piece into balls with your hands. This recipe should make 120-140 balls.

• Bake:

  • Place the cereal balls on the baking sheet, leaving space between them, and bake for about 10 minutes. Let them cool completely.

• Cool and Serve:

  • The cereal balls will be soft immediately after baking but will firm up as they cool. Avoid overbaking to prevent burning.

  • Enjoy the chocolate cereal balls for breakfast with your favorite dairy-free milk and fruit!
